What is the airbag sign?

The airbag sign is a warning symbol found on vehicle dashboards, indicating that there may be an issue with the airbag system, which is crucial for passenger safety during a collision. Typically represented by an icon of a seated person with a small circle representing the airbag, it lights up when the ignition is turned on and should turn off shortly after. If the light remains illuminated, it signals a potential malfunction that should be addressed by a professional mechanic to ensure the airbag system is functioning properly.
